People with U-Verse TV service -- "gaming the system" - ILikeLSUToo on 2/10/15 at 7:35 pmJust curious if anyone else does what I do.
I have the U300 package most of the time. But when I switch to U450 (another $20), AT&T gives me a $100 VISA gift card after having U450 for 30 days. I then switch back to U300, and I get a promotional 3 free months of HBO and Cinemax and a free month o...

A way to filter out clickbait news sites from Google Now? - ILikeLSUToo on 2/2/15 at 1:11 amI like using Google Now to peruse random articles of interest -- usually a lot of tech-related news. Unfortunately, the topic of tech is a haven for clickbait article farms (rumors without substance, misleading headlines that don't deliver, etc.). I've noticed my Google Now page getting more of thes...

Recommend Some Standup Comedians - ILikeLSUToo on 12/20/14 at 4:03 pmNeed something to listen to in the car on my 10-hour drive through the night to visit my parents next week. Go-to has always been standup comedy. Some of my favorites are Louis CK, Tom Segura, John Mulaney, Patton Oswalt, Bill Burr, and Hannibal Buress.
Recommendations from those with similar tas...

Dell's Ultrasharp 5K monitor available - ILikeLSUToo on 11/17/14 at 6:38 pmonly $2499!

Same price as the 5K iMac, except the iMac has a computer inside (main drawback being you can't use the iMac display for anything but the iMac, for now at least). Both use the same LG panel I'm sure....

Dad asked me to repair brother's computer, "It doesn't work." - ILikeLSUToo on 10/3/14 at 7:59 pmI turn the fricker on this afternoon. Here's why it doesn't work:

I also found it funny that of the 7 desktop icons I could actually see, 5 of them are malware/crapware.
It's almost irresponsible of me to suggest a new comput...

Hey, tech board, help me choose my phone. - ILikeLSUToo on 9/17/14 at 11:25 pmYes, it's my turn to ask for help. Enjoy the stimulant-induced wall of text.
I kind of want to lock in my Amazon trade-in for my iPhone 4s before it plummets. I've been an iPhone user since 2007--first, because I was an early adopter and there was nothing else out there to compete with the iPhone...

COMING SOON: Cox is doubling internet speeds - ILikeLSUToo on 8/11/14 at 7:32 pmMaybe I'm out of the loop on this, but I just noticed it a few minutes ago. Went to access my account today and saw this on the home page:

Questions about medical expense tax deduction - ILikeLSUToo on 7/17/14 at 9:18 pmI know its early, but it occurred to me today that this year's medical expenses are going to probably well exceed 10% of our AGI, and with mortgage interest on top of that, I should easily be able to itemize.
The big expenses will come from my 3-month-old son's surgery, which happens next week, a...

Extreme opinions on parenting -- do you have any? - ILikeLSUToo on 5/5/14 at 2:42 pmThe vaccination thread got me thinking about how "extreme" people can be on the internet about parenting choices -- whether it's about breast vs. bottle or general nutrition, sleep schedules, education, stay-at-home vs. daycare, vaccines, circumcision, or even how mothers actually give birth to the ...

Flappy bird on browser (link) - ILikeLSUToo on 2/11/14 at 5:18 pmhttp://uralozden.com/flappy
I did not play the mobile app version, so I don't know how mouse clicking compares to touch screen as far as difficulty goes. But I have a high score of 3. I think I'll call it a day....
